I love window shopping! I’m drawn to the sparkly, perfectly staged displays. Sometimes I just stand outside, wishing and hoping. From the other side of the window (or from inside an office somewhere), those of us who are creating and offering a product to buyers wonder who those people are—the wishers and hopers wondering about […]

I don’t watch soccer, but when I was looking for something exciting to do this weekend, it was hard to bet against an activity that 25.4 million people were also watching. In much the same way, when we are looking for applicants for a job, we can post the opening on our website career pages […]

Work is a big part of your life, so it’s important that it’s more than just a job. Work should be an outlet for passionate people to do really cool stuff. But you can’t do that if you’re being held back by a lack of organization or inefficient processes. Since 2008, we’ve worked with thousands of small and medium businesses, and we’ve found […]

You probably already know that beginning in 2016, you will be required to report compliance with the Affordable Care Act to the IRS. Ugh!
